BMO Strategy Advisor Don Coxe to join David Rinneard, National Manager of Agriculture, and Sam Miller, Managing Director and Group Head, Agriculture, on cross-border call
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- (Marketwire) -- 08/06/12 -- Record heat and lack of rain have been unforgiving in the U.S. Midwest this summer, leading to the worst drought the U.S. has seen in 56 years. Reports estimate that as of July 31, nearly two-thirds of the continental U.S. was experiencing some level of drought. Crop prices are soaring, with the prices for soybeans and corn reaching all-time highs. In Canada, volatile weather, including late frost followed by high temperatures, has caused problems for farmers, mainly in Ontario. Up to 90 per cent of the province's apple crops were wiped out by the frost in April.
BMO experts will be hosting a conference call on Wednesday, August 8, 2012, to discuss the impact on the U.S. and Canadian agriculture industry, and the ripple effect on consumers.
Some of the topics that will be discussed include:
